Vase of Flowers 1882

"Vase of Flowers," painted in 1882 by Claude Monet, exemplifies his Impressionist style. The work, currently housed in the Courtauld Gallery in London, showcases Monet's mastery of light and color, capturing the ephemeral beauty of a bouquet of flowers. The brushstrokes are visible and create a sense of movement, while the vibrant colors, particularly the delicate pinks and whites of the blossoms, create a sense of energy and life. This painting, a fine example of still life subject matter, is a testament to Monet's profound understanding of capturing the fleeting moments of nature.
